Living in a community as quaint and rural as Vermillion has its ups and downs. Neighbors that will mow your lawn while your out of town? That’s a plus. A decent amount of live music? That’s a different story. While we cannot expect to see great live gigs in Vermillion that often (and bless our local groups who treat us to good shows when they can), we shant have to travel far. Enter, Omaha’s One Percent Productions. Yes, readers, familiarize yourselves with 1% Productions, as they have their fingers on the pulse of the Omaha concert scene. Strike that, they are the pulse. Using the resources of such venues as The Slowdown, The Waiting Room, Sokol Auditorium, and Sokol Underground, One Percent Productions books upwards of 1-3 shows in the greater Omaha area every night. Bop on down to www.onepercentproductions.com and see for yourself. Yes, the two hour drive can seem a bit daunting, but good live music is always worth it. Embrace the tunes, book the tix, and join the One Percent Society!
